Scholarship Guidelines

We are pleased to
outline our Scholarship Policy and procedures on behalf of
Camas-Washougal Soccer Club and the
Washington Soccer Academy.We realize that this is a sensitive subject and we are
committed to maintaining confidentiality throughout the process.
We are committed is to assist
every qualified player who needs financial help and asks for it.

Here you will find the steps and
guidelines to request
a Scholarship.As
you know, we are a non-profit organization which means that we
raise just enough money to operate and sustain our Club.Scholarship monies come primarily from our Donations and Fundraisers.We have
been fortunate enough to provide fee assistance to multiple
players each year, and this year should be no different. We have
a limited budget that is dedicated to partial and full
scholarships.

These scholarships are
awarded strictly on need and a player’s family’s volunteer
efforts with the club are taken into consideration when
scholarship money is distributed.

Once awarded, those families that receive a
scholarship are expected to donate the required amount of
volunteer time as determined by the club. Helping to coach a
team or participating in team sponsored activities are
encouraged and welcome but do not satisfy this requirement.

The following are some of the
tasks that need to be done throughout the season, and which
qualify as volunteer work:

Field lining

Field set up - goals and flags

Goal maintenance - painting goal posts and
fixing nets

Tournaments - many volunteer opportunities
including;

Field clean up

Others as they come up

Step 1. Register
for the online for the season but choose payment type "pay by check." This
will get your player in our system in a 'pending' status and we can then apply
the scholarship once granted.

Step 2. Fill in the scholarship request form below. Please give a week or so for a response. You can Contact the
